if you can't recall how every
candidate's pre-election ambitions and aspirations were gratified beyond measure by the adoration and homage of an almost
endless retinue of the knights
of the spear'? These knights
were ever ready and eager at a
moment's notice to obey their
leader's call to duty at the bar.
The discipline and precision
with which these orders were
obeyed might have put the maneuvers of even the Kaiser's great
soldiers into the shade. At that
time they were known as "suckers;" and fortunate they were its

if you can't recall how every
candidate's pre-election ambitions and aspirations were gratified beyond measure by the adoration and homage of an almost
endless retinue of the knights
of the spear'? These knights
were ever ready and eager at a
moment's notice to obey their
leader's call to duty at the bar.

with which these orders were
obeyed might have put the maneuvers of even the Kaiser's great
soldiers into the shade. At that
time they were known as "suckers;" and fortunate they were its
